Hi! I made it through the overtime yesterday at Flushmate and all I can say is that I hope eveyone is enjoying all those pressure assist toilets! {yeah, that is my day job mon-fri, for those of you have so nicely just joined me here! toilets.} I did get a little shopping in last night, after a nap and dinner. My mom was here with Jordan while we were in Toronto and they went shopping to Kohl's and had some 'Kohl's cash' for me to spend. I have been on the lookout for some new rugs for my kitchen and finally found some.
Today I spent the first part of my afternoon catching up on last weeks The Offica, and TWO weeks of Nip/Tuck. Then I headed to my room to settle in for some card making for class next weekend. I am finishing up cutting paper tonight and things are falling into place... yes, I will be up at 3:30 for shopping on black friday, NO, I am not cooking Thnksgiving dinner, we will be heading to Cracker Barrel.
Today I did do a little coloring and I colored up a boy! Can you believe that, LOL I love these new Stamping Bella Lollipop's by Lori Boyd and I pulled out my Cosmo Cricket 'boyfriend' paper for inspiration. Ethan and his
skateboard came together pretty easily for me, even though I didn't apply glitter or ribbon. I stamped him out on Bella's bestest paper and colored him with my prismacolor pencils. {I also added the checks in his pants} I loved all the colors in this striped paper, how could I have not used it before???
It's a pretty quick clean card and I left it plain with no sentiment. I have been doing that alot lately in case there is a need for a card and I don't have to fuss around with changing sentiments out. {hmmm, when I type that out and re-read it, just sounds like I am lazy! ;) }
Tomorrow I am gonna start posting the cards I am teaching this up coming weekend at Scrappin' & Stampin'. My first class saturday is a true beginners class and the second class is 4 Stella cards! I am pretty excited, all the Stella images are new and I have not colored them much before. See ya soon! Love, paula :)
YOU LAZY? are you kidding me? you do more in an evening than i do in an ENTIRE week! Ethan is a cutie! so are you hooked on making boy cards now?

naaa not lazy because I don't usually put one on either so if you were lazy then that would make me lazy. The day after thanksgiving when you are just getting up to go shopping you can think of me who has to be to work at 11:45 Thursday so we can open the store at midnight for all you crazy shoppers.
